Who We Are

Do you want to help the next generation of kids learn how to code? CodeCombat is building a new way for K-12 students to learn computer science by using real programming languages to play an adventure game. We help students learn how to write functions in order to control their ‘hero’ avatar, implement puzzle-solving strategies, and ultimately code their own websites and games. We continually research and experiment with new ways to combine gaming and education so kids can learn computer science with a smile on their face.

We are a small, tight-knit team passionately educating millions of students worldwide. We are dedicated to providing an enjoyable, meaningful place to work. Team members pursue a healthy work/life balance, with unlimited vacation and flexible working hours.

Named the top D.C. startup to watch in both 2016 and 2017, Quorum is software built for public affairs, providing one place for stakeholder engagement, legislative tracking, and grassroots advocacy. Thousands of public affairs professionals use Quorum for their work in Congress, all 50 state legislatures, major U.S. cities, and the European Union. Quorum remains entirely bootstrapped, having never raised venture capital funding, and works with organizations like Coca-Cola, the United Nations Foundation, Sierra Club, General Motors, Lyft, and the National Restaurant Association. Founded in 2014, Quorum is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with an international office in Brussels.

Called “The Moneyball Effect on K Street” by the Washington Post and “Google for Congress” by the Huffington Post, Quorum has been featured in over 50 news outlets and is used by Walmart, Coca-Cola, the United Nations, Apple, Human Rights First, and many other companies, trade associations, and advocacy groups.

Our engineers work the full stack using tools like React/Redux, Django, PostgreSQL, Swift, and much more. You will be working in a interdisciplinary, teamwork-oriented environment where you will help build the most powerful advocacy platform on the market.

About You

You care deeply about the code you write and either have significant technical skills solving real-world problems or the drive to quickly develop them

You’re a highly-motivated self-starter who wants to make valuable contributions to a team from day 1

You want to work in a fun environment where you can form real friendships with other young professionals and where you have a strong sense of belonging at a growing startup

You’re excited to pitch in where ever needed, from helping in recruiting to supporting customers

You’re able to work full-time for at least three months as an intern

About Us

We’re a small team that works fast. Iterating and shipping code quickly is in our DNA. Done is better than perfect, but we do our best to build systems that let us move quickly without breaking too many things.

We support many different products but internally think of them as one system with a single unified codebase. Our goal is to build centralized systems that handle the hard stuff for multiple features and products.

We live on the cutting edge of software engineering in both our frontend and backend. We rely heavily on open source tools but aren’t afraid to dig in and make something better ourselves.

We’re very close as a team — we work together, hang out together, eat together, and some of us even live together. Previously, The Washingtonian described us as “DC’s nerdiest group house… shaking up Washington’s oldest trade.”

What You’ll Do

First week: you’ll ship new code to production

First month: you’ll write code at several levels of the stack, from infrastructure to the API to the UI

By the end of the internship: you’ll take ownership of a feature that will directly impact many of our clients

If you’d like to learn what it’s like to have a real impact at a fast-growing company that is changing the way the advocacy process works, drop us a line. We’d love to talk to you!

]]>New York Times – Newsroom UX Software Engineerhttps://slackatwork.com/job/the-new-york-times-new-york-city-new-york-2-new-york-times-newsroom-ux-software-engineer/
Fri, 14 Dec 2018 04:00:01 +0000https://slackatwork.com/job/the-new-york-times-new-york-city-new-york-2-new-york-times-newsroom-ux-software-engineer/We’re seeking an experienced frontend engineer for our Interactive News team, the special digital projects group embedded within the newsroom. This role combines UX, technical and editorial thinking to create new forms for our readers and new ways for our journalists to work. This position is based in our NYC newsroom.

About You

You enjoy building web app interfaces.In this role, you’ll build reader-facing experiences, as well as internal tools for reporters and editors.

You have experience taking UIs from concept to production-grade finish.
Our apps can evolve quickly from prototypes to daily use. You should be comfortable nurturing a project from start to finish.

You’re skilled in standard HTML, JS and CSS.
Development practices within the team depend on strong web standards but we also use higher-level tools like SCSS and frameworks such as React.

You’re interested in applying engineering and UX skills to solve journalistic problems.
We strive to imagine new experiences that help readers and newsroom staff better understand the world.

You’re excited about working in interdisciplinary newsroom teams.
We regularly collaborate with other newsroom developers, reporters, photographers and editors during the full lifecycle of a project. Our collaborations help us grow staff skills and experiment with new forms of journalism and reader engagement.

You value collaboration when working with designers.
Depending on the project, our designers may provide general guidance or up to and including detailed specs.

You take pride in your craft and understand the need to capture patterns.
An overarching team goal is to find ways to share efficiencies or package patterns for reuse by other newsroom developers.

About the Role

As a team, we draw on technical expertise to imagine new editorial forms. This role will combine digital creativity and software expertise:

We don’t require full-stack experience, but willingness to work beyond traditional frontend focus areas is important. As part of the collaborative process, we want you to grow to feel comfortable deploying apps on our infrastructure or making adjustments to API endpoints.

This is an engineering role, rather than a design role. We expect you’ll have demonstrated experience improving UX and will actively collaborate with newsroom designers on visual decisions.

This is not a visualization or graphics role. We have interesting UI, UX, and interaction challenges to address, but our team focuses on tools and templates that can be used at scale within the newsroom. You’ll be working on interfaces used repeatedly by a variety of users, rather than individual stories.

We don’t ask for deep journalism experience, but you should be a critical thinker when it comes to the news. You’ll be directly involved in shaping thoughtful experiences for our readers.

About the Interactive News team

Our team’s mission is to practice software engineering as a newsroom craft. Read more on our “About Interactive News” on github.
